Travel and photography are two of my passions and I am so lucky to be able to combine them both to create images and memories from diverse areas of the world. New Zealand, my home, provides a seemingly inexhaustible source of subjects and vistas to point a lens at and the vast number of images in my portfolio are from this beautiful country
Other parts of the world are only a hop, skip, and jump from home and my camera is always the first thing packed.

Favorite bird: Herons
Favorite location to shoot: Anywhere I have my camera with me
Biggest photography blunder: not checking camera settings before "once in a lifetime shoot" I shot near perfect white images due to over exposure
Bucket list picture to get: Elephants on the Chobe river, Botswana

Creativity has always been an essential part of my life, balancing my background in science, organization, and process with the joy of crafting something beautiful by hand. Crystal gem trees, in particular, have become a way for me to blend structure and imagination into pieces that feel alive with energy.

I’m inspired by the idea that crystals can bring clarity, grounding, and inspiration into our often hectic environments. Each gem tree I design is thoughtfully created to celebrate the natural properties of the stones and to spark a sense of calm and intention wherever it’s placed.
